Scammers Beware!!!
Post 1 of 4
Hello. I have been going over all of the threads about people that have gotten scammed and it makes me sick. So, I am putting together a hit squad that will go to all our favorite places (the U.K., Nigeria, China, etc) to do a little "house cleaning". Please post here if you want in.
Just kidding. As great as that may be, it is probably illegal :). But if you have been scammed please post your experience at www.badsuppliers.com. That way the trash that ripped you off won't be able to screw someone else over (which will hurt them financially). Maybe they will have to get a job. Anyway if we all work together hopefully we can limit the amount of scams that occur...

Replying to [GoombaJon]:SCAMMERS DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS
First of all if you have been scammed report it to ALIBABA Service Team, and also make sure to report it to Law Enforcement (In the USA the FBI at www.ic3.gov), and also report them to Badbusinessbureau.com, Badsuppliers.com and Cybercrime. If we all do these steps we will hurt the scammers pocketbook, and preventing any little amount of money from getting to them is well worth it.
NOW HERE IS HOW TO FILTER OUT MOST SCAMMERS BEFORE YOU ORDER
1. Always ask for contact person?s name, full address and phone number, and tell them to be expecting a call from you.
2. Ask the seller to provide you with three customer references (preferably from your own country, makes it easier to research them) who purchased from them in the last year so you can call them to verify their business dealings with the seller.
3. Also ask the seller to provide you with their business registration number (if they have none run away. Probably a scammer) so that I can call their country?s Chamber Of Commerce to verify if they are a real business.
4. For the sample order or initial order ask the seller to open an Escrow.com account or a Paypal account, the Paypal account must be CERTIFIED, these site will increase the safety level.
This may sound like a lot of steps but they are well worth your time to not become a victim of these worthless scammer and may be we will start making these * start really working for a living.
